With a lifelong passion for real estate and a desire to keep learning, he brings more than a decade of luxury real estate experience to William Means. After 12 successful years selling high-end properties in Naples, Florida, he and his wife, Jenny, found themselves increasingly drawn to the charm and community of Charleston. Their many visits eventually led them to purchase a home in the I'On neighborhood of Mount Pleasant - an experience that inspired him to continue his real estate career in the Lowcountry.

Real estate has always been a central part of his life, as his father was a broker and owned his own firm. He earned his real estate license at the age of 18 while attending Miami University in Ohio, later going on to graduate from the University of Akron School of Law. Over the years, he has completed more than 40 personal real estate transactions, giving him a unique perspective as both an agent and a client.

Before transitioning full-time into real estate, he enjoyed a successful 29-year career with Sandridge Food Corporation. As part owner and President, he worked closely with Mark Sandridge to grow the company from a regional food manufacturer into a nationally recognized private-label supplier for major brands like Whole Foods, Costco, Publix, and Kroger. He also led the company's legal affairs, business acquisitions and divestitures, union contract negotiations, and real estate operations - bringing invaluable leadership and strategic expertise to every endeavor.

He is equally committed to giving back. He has served as Vice Chair of Akron General Health System and as Board Chair for several nonprofit organizations, including Feeding Medina County, which he co-founded, Northern Ohio Golf Charities, Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, and the Medina County Port Authority.

He blends his business acumen, legal background, and extensive real estate knowledge to help clients achieve their goals in the Charleston area. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring the area, he would love the opportunity to connect and assist you.
